Installing Drupal

I got the following message when i tried going to the drupal site in step 5 in the readme

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /drupal/index.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. 

any idea what the problem is? (i configured the config file like the readme said )

Hi,

I have successfully test installed Drupal under a subdomain but when I install under the main domain I get some pretty serious problems.

At first I couldn't install, then I renamed the existing .htaccess file and created a new blank on and the install worked fine, then the other problems arose.

1. When I try to log in as the admin user (I installed using fantastico from my control panel) I get an error saying:

Method Not Allowed
The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL /default.htm.

I want to make sure I have edited these files correctly. It "works" as is, in that I can get to an opening drupal page at everywomans-selfdefense.org/drupal. But it doesn't work in that all of the links on that page just redirect me to my own home page.

In drupal/includes/conf.php there is a line I edited to use a drupal userid/pw I set up when I created the drupal mysql database

# $db_url = "pgsql://user:password@hostname/database";
$db_url = "mysql://drupauserl:letmein@localhost/drupal";

I've got Drupal installed and I can get to the first page, but when I click on any link on the page, I just get redirected to my home page. I can't create the first user.

See everywomans-selfdefense.org/drupal

I'm trying to configure listhandler to track the mailing lists I have setup with mailman, however I've run into a few problems.

The first of which is that I cannot figure out how mailhanlder/imap_open handles local mbox files, such as the ones mailman places (in Debian) in /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/[list].mbox/[list].mbox. I tried just putting that file in the "Folder" option for mailhandler, which saves so long as the webserver process user owns the file. However, if I try to use the retrieve function I get the following error:

When does the navigation block show up? Do you need a certain number of nodes or something? I can see it when i use xtemplate for my theme, but not in either of the other two defaults. I imagine its something simple :-p

Thanks to all the developers for making such a great suite, i hope i can contribute back soon :)
